Shell very small, thin, translucent, white, lenticular; spire almost flat or slightly elevated. Surface glossy. Whorls slightly convex. Protoconch: smooth, sometimes with a few inconspicuous, scattered radial riblets only. Teleoconch: Spiral sculpture absent. Radial sculpture teleoconch: growth lines inconspicuous, next to these widely but irregularly spaced, shallow grooves, often alternating with areas of a much finer, more dense but irregularly spaced striation; sometimes the latter striation is predominant. Umbilicus partly or entirely covered by a minute, triangular spur protruding from the columellar corner of the peristome; this spur lacking or inconspicuous in juveniles; umbilical region moderately concave. Dimensions: Height up to 1.7 mm; width up to 3 mm; diameters of the first three whorls 0.5-0.8 mm, 0.9-1.5 mm, 1.5-2.5 mm respectively; number of whorls up to 4 1/8; height aperture up to 1.4 mm; width aperture up to 1.7 mm.

Habitat in Sabah and distribution. Rainforest, periodically dry, shrubby woodland, coastal woodland, secondary forest and other degraded vegetation; on limestone, sandstone and granitic soil, up to 3500 m alt. Sabah: common and widespread. Also in Brunei; Sarawak; Kalimantan. Endemic to Borneo. Cross diagnosis. Characterized among the Borneo Microcystina species with white shells by a complete lack of spiral striation. Usually it is also larger and has more rapidly expanding whorls. Elsewhere, Lamprocystus vitreiformis Von Moellendorff, 1897, from Sumatra, Java, and Bali (see Vermeulen and Whitten 1998 : 118) is most similar; Microcystina microrhynchus is characterized by the minute spur protruding from the columellar corner of the peristome and covering the umbilicus. Microcystina chionodiscus Vermeulen, 1996, from Bali (see Vermeulen and Whitten 1998 : 115), has the first whorl consistently smaller (diameter 0.4-0.5 mm) than Microcystina microrhynchus . Etymology. The name refers to the spur covering the umbilicus [mikros (Gr.) = small; rhynchos (Gr.) = beak].
